Led by “one of the great movers of modern dance,” Parsons Dance is an audience-favorite, with remarkable athleticism and bold, dance-your-heart-out choreography. Parsons’ signature musicality and wit shine in the Philadelphia premieres of new works, Balance of Power and Mr. Withers, set to "Ain’t No Sunshine," "Lean on Me," "Just the Two of Us" and more hits by singer/songwriter Bill Withers. The program also features Jamar Roberts’ latest piece set to music by jazz legend Miles Davis, as well as company classics Swing Shift and Caught, a beloved stroboscopic masterpiece. From the opening curtain to the final bows, “Parsons Dance is an enjoyable ride.” (The New York Times)
